Lightheadedness/ virus? COVID?

Does anyone know on here if lightheadedness is going around? I know someone at work who was bad with it for a couple of days, but I've had mine for a week and a half now, although it's not really bad I'm just sick of having it now. Wondered if anyone else had it and considered it a virus or maybe even a symptom of Covid.

 

Could be the steroids, if you look like your avatar.

 

Thanks, but not sure I'm willing to accept that from a dog. If you look like your avatar.

 

I thought we all looked like our avatars

 

Lightheadedness? Heavyheadedness is nothing to me. Comes with the job.

 

Light headedness is normally a symptom of an underlying medical condition. In any case. I'd get checked out.

 

The brain not getting sufficient blood.
Happened to me. Hope you are not affected similar but I had to get a pacemaker.
Problem solved but a tad traumatic at the time.

 

Oh god, wish I'd not asked now! Great Saturday night this will look to get in at doctors early next week.

 

Chances are it’s just a virus. Sorry for frightening you at the thought of what it could be.
I was also getting breathless so if you are breathing ok don’t worry.

 

Ha thanks mate. Breathing fine. Weirdly, while out running I'm absolutely fine!

 

You checked your blood pressure?

 

Glad you posted this - I've been the same for a couple of days and wondering what on earth is going on.

Bit reassuring if others are having the same thing.

 

I've had similar recently and the doctor suggested it might be to do with the inner ear which affects balance.
If by feeling light headed you think you're feeling dizzy for no reason.
He said there are crystals inside your ear that get displaced and cause this. There are things you can do or take to help. I've got some tablets called prochl............ ( can't remember the name). Tiny white tablets.
Also look up labyrinthitis on Google. It may help.

 

Yep, all fine mate.

 

This was the first result I found a few days ago and believe this is the problem. I have an accompanying cold too with stuffy, sometimes runny, nose. COVID has also been mentioned as a possibility. Other than that though I feel healthy.

 

That's another one on the list. Definitely something going round then. As I say mate, the woman at work had it really bad for 2 days then it went. Mine hasn't been bad enough to stop me doing anything, but come Wednesday it will be 2 weeks I've had it. Hope yours improves faster than mine bud.

 

Same with me as well. Started to feel dizzy on Friday. No other symptoms whatsoever, just feels like I’ve had a couple of pints.

 

Hope u get over it soon bud. Really annoying after 11 days of it.

 

I did at one time. Thank god I got my hand stitched back on.

 

Does it happen when you stand up? Could be postural hypotension. Probably absolutely nothing, but go to your GP for an MOT. Many men don't and that's when problems occur.

Don't be afraid, don't panic. There's a million and one things that can cause lightheadedness. Just better to be safe than DEAD.... the last bits a joke. Go to your GP.
